Strawberry Italian Ice Sugar Free Recipes

Steps:

• Slightly thaw the strawberries by placing them in a large bowl at room temperature while the other components are prepared, about 20 minutes.
• Remove wide strips of zest from the orange and lemon with a vegetable peeler and scrape off any bitter white pith. Combine the Splenda with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and add the citrus zests and juices. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Allow the syrup to cool a bit, and then strain the mixture, discarding the peels.
• Transfer the strawberries to a food processor or blender, add 1/2 cup of the citrus syrup, and pulse until a nearly smooth, frosty puree is formed, adding more syrup to blend, if necessary. Transfer the semi frozen puree to a bowl and freeze 2-3 hours, until firm.
• To serve, let stand at room temperature 15-20 minutes to soften slightly, scrape across the italian ice with a large spoon, and place into serving dishes.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water, and peels. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Strain and discard peels. Stir in orange, lemon, and lime juices. 2. In a blender container or food processor bowl combine half of the juice mixture and half of the strawberries.

Repeat with remaining juice mixture and strawberries. Cover and freeze 6 hours or overnight, stirring once after freezing for 3 hours. 3. To serve, scrape across frozen mixture with a large spoon and place into individual serving dishes (if mixture is too firm, let stand at room temperature 20 to 30 minutes).
